Rise in Vehicle Crime Offences

Rise in Vehicle Crime Offences

In the early hours of 19th December 2024, Neighbourhood Officers have been carrying out proactive patrols in Mansfield, this follows a rise in Theft From Motor Vehicle offences reported to police.

We are keen to hear from anyone who may have any information relating to these type of offences or knowledge of any suspicious activity in their area. Please call us on 101 or report to us online Home | Nottinghamshire Police

You can also pass on information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

There are some simple but effective things you can do to help protect your vehicle:

Park your car in a garage or driveway if possible, or on a busy, well-lit road. Choose a ParkMark® accredited public car park wherever possible

Never leave anything on display in your car. The cost to repair damage to the vehicle will usually exceed the value of the theft

Drivers of some Toyota and Honda vehicles and some 4 x 4’s should install measures to deter theft of catalytic converts e.g Catloc | Catalytic Convertor Theft Protection

Further security tips and crime prevention advice can be found on the Crime prevention advice | Nottinghamshire Police and on the Neighbourhood Watch website.
